Ford 351W intake dimensions

[dharding]

Does anyone have dimensions for a Ford 351W intake manifold? Specifically, I need dimensions for the block, head, lifter valley area, and front & rear chine wall geometry. I am working on an intake manifold design, and would like an accurately defined design envelope.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Just take those specs from any 351W intake, stock or aftermarket. Or certainly off of an engine with the heads bolted down.

Do you not have these parts now? If you are designing an intake for this engine you need to start with an engine, or at least an original part that you are trying to design a new part to replace.

Otherwise you end up in a bad place (where most of us have been) with a part that fits all the specs, looks awesome, and won't fit or work correctly because of some unforseen detail. (wadda' ya' mean the distributor won't clear the #1 intake runner without moving the runner? So I have to change all the runners to make them all the same?)..........

Buy a junk block and heads from the scrapyard. It will save you a BUNCH of headaches.
